The Cardiff Bay Card Show will return to The Red Dragon Centre this September for a weekend of collecting, trading and family entertainment.
Held in partnership with Vendiboyz, the free event will take place from 10am to 4pm on Saturday, September 19 and Sunday, September 20.
The two-day show has become a firm favourite with local collectors and will bring together fans of the Pokémon Trading Card Game to browse, buy, sell and trade cards.
A wide range of vendors will give visitors the chance to discover new cards, add to their collections and trade with fellow enthusiasts.
The event is aimed at everyone from experienced collectors to those who are just starting their collections.
There will also be special character appearances, giveaways and opportunities for visitors to get involved throughout the weekend.
Further surprises could be in store for people spotted wearing their best themed fancy dress or carrying out a good deed during the event.
WHOCULT will once again join the show with a selection of limited-edition themed doughnuts, available while stocks last.
For the first time, the Cardiff Bay Card Show will also include a quieter trading zone at ODEON.
Hosted by Inclusability, the space will be available from 10am to 4pm on Saturday, September 19, providing a calmer environment away from the main event for anyone who would prefer a quieter place to trade and take part.
Numbers will be limited, with access offered on a first-come, first-served basis on the day.
Emma Constantinou, Marketing Manager at The Red Dragon Centre, said: “We’re delighted to welcome the Cardiff Bay Card Show back to The Red Dragon Centre. It’s always fantastic to see the enthusiasm from collectors and fans of all ages, and we’re looking forward to another brilliant weekend of collecting, trading and family fun. We’re also really pleased to be introducing a quieter trading zone this year, giving more visitors the opportunity to enjoy the event in a way that suits them.”
Visitors will also be able to use the Centre’s other attractions, including ODEON, Hollywood Bowl and its arcades, as well as a range of food and drink venues.
Free parking will be available for eligible Centre customers, with overflow parking at Q-Park Cardiff Bay.
The Centre is expected to be busy throughout the weekend, so visitors are being encouraged to consider travelling by public transport or sharing a car where possible.
Entry to the Cardiff Bay Card Show is free and advance booking is not required.
